The Unsung Photographer of Web 2.0

I have really been enjoying Scott Beale of Laughing Squid's photos since I discovered them over the last year. He goes to nearly every tech event and shoots terrific pictures. You can see his photos from ETech 2006 here.

For some reason though, I don't think he gets the respect from conference organizers that he deserves though. The reality is that having Scott at your event means that a lot of high quality pictures will get taken, posted up on Flickr and seen all around the tech community. This is a big deal and it's real.

I hope more organizers recognize the value that he brings - if you're willing to give passes to speakers for free you should do the same for your photographer.

I agree totally. I love Scott's pix.
